Failing to achieve unanimity of opinions, Ferrari had nothing else to do but accept the misfortune.Ĭommenting on the Las Vegas Grand Prix in a recent article published on the Sky Sport UK website, F1 pundit Martin Brundle addressed this episode, stating that it is difficult to play with the interpretation of the rules, leaving too much power in the hands of the judges, as happened in Abu Dhabi two years ago. This is what the FIA documents state, although some voices, not entirely clear, claim that there was a vote among team principals on the matter, and only Mercedes voted in favor of the 10-grid penalty. Diego Ioverno and his team sought an exception, but the stewards, almost apologizing, denied it.
